Rachel quit Glee last week to take the lead in the new school musical, Cabaret–a plot hatched by the evil Sue Sylvester (Needed more Sue in this episode!). Ex-gGee director and wanna-be Liza Minelli, Sandy, is directing the musical. He’s mean to Rachel because he’s sooo jellus of her. But Rachel doesn’t quit–she’s determined to be a star.

Finn flirts with Rachel in an attempt to lure her back to Glee. He figures that’s his only chance to get a music scholarship to college. He’s worried about taking care of Quinn’s baby, which he believes is his (it’s not, it’s Puck’s. Finn, thinks sperm can find a vajayjay by swimming through chlorinated water. Dumb ass.)

So Finn kisses Rachel at the bowling alley, and her heart’s all aflutter–she decides to quit the musical and go back to Glee–except when she shows up at Glee rehearsal, the kids are gossiping about Quinn and her baby daddy, Finn. Ouch! Rachel finds Finn in the hallway and bitch slaps him. Not that he didn’t deserve it.

Allison Iraheta posted this photo on twitter with the caption, “Woke up to the smell of Mr. Hankey DX.. Thanks to these guys… Left..(feline) right..(Chiquita) ..”

Allison admits the puppy getups are revenge, @Allison4Realzzz: “Was never into dressin’ up my dogs.. But since they thought It was coo to leave chocolate stains on my floor .. I had to embarrass them Haha”

When I asked if her pooches were male or female, Allison replied, “They’re bitches.”   Heh.

I love chihuahuas!   Allison Iraheta’s debut album is set to be released December 1 through 19R/Jive records…

The annual Relly Awards, brought to you by the peeps at Live with Regis and Kelly, is pretty silly stuff.   But,   it’s still fun to watch Kris Allen accept his coveted Relly for “Favorite Newbie” in a message taped while he was still touring with American Idols Live…

Kris’s fans managed to vote enough to beat out the competition: Jason Segel, Rupert Grint,
Dierks Bentley and Cameron Diaz. Wow, Cameron Diaz appeared on Regis and Kelly for the first time, only this year?

A song has reportedly leaked from Katharine McPhee’s upcoming album, Unbroken, due to be released by Verve in January 2010.

Check out the breezy (and a tad lightweight) “Lifetime” after the jump. Based on what I’m hearing so far–including her single “Had it All”, Katharine’s music could use a little more heft.   She could be an adult alternative darling with the right material.

Last night, Katharine joined Sheryl Crow, Ben Harper and Tom Morello in Los Angeles   for the Rock a Little Feed A Lot benefit concert with proceeds to benefit both Feeding America and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.

A charity single, called “All We Need is Love” written especially for the event will be released next week.

And if that isn’t enough Katharine news, check out her latest on Funny or Die HERE. Katharine and Alyson Hannigan, Emily Deschanel, Minka Kelly and Jaime King do the funny for breast cancer awareness.

Katy Perry’s upcoming concert in Manila, Philippines has been postponed due to the Southeast Asian nation’s recent tragedy. The show was moved to a later October date and was reformatted as a charity event instead with “American Idol” finalist David Archuleta.

According to local showbiz correspondent Tim Yap on his Twitter page, the MTV Philippines Live event, scheduled to take place on October 3 at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds, has now been tentatively rescheduled to October 17.

@iamtimyap twittered:

Kris Allen: Why the “American Idol” Champ Could Be a Therapist

I was very happy when Kris Allen won American Idol. I’m a big fan of Adam Lambert as well, but Kris has a soothing voice I could listen to for hours. I’ve been playing his new song, “Live Like We’re Dying,” on repeat because it’s so catchy, and it has such a great message. It’s making me rethink how I live my life…

Do you ever feel so stressed out that you wish the day would be over? There are some weeks where I feel like a robot going through the motions of life. I’ll be so overwhelmed by work and after-work commitments that I neglect the people I love. I’ll actually forget to call my mom (and I already told you I typically talk to her at least four times a day), and I’ll barely have a conversation with Drew. Some nights, I get home so late that all I do is say goodnight to him before bed.

I’m watching So You Think You Can Dance tonight…   I’ll update this post with tonight’s results when I get them.

• Kathy Ireland and Tony Dovolani are eliminated

No surprise there. Kathy wasn’t a good dancer, had no personality, and never connected to Tony, her dance partner. Plus, she’s a model! Models seem to get booted early on DWTS.

Blake Lewis’s sophomore album, Heartbreak on Vinyl, is set to be released on October 6, but you can listen to it right now at AOL.

• Listen to Blake Lewis’   Heartbreak On Vinyl

I’m listening to the album right now.   If you dig acid-washed 80’s synth-fueled dance fests (I do!) make sure to check it out. Me like!   More on the album from me later. Excuse me while I dance around my living room…

Via Billboard:

Jason Castro is preparing   to set out on a nationwide mall tour in support of his self-titled debut.   The album, on Universal Records,   is set to be released on November 17–same day as winner Kris Allen.

Jason isn’t worried about the competition, “I see it as an opportunity,” Jason says, “We’re all living the dream, so I’m not really concerned about when whose album comes out — I’m just gonna get out there, that’s all I want to do.”

Which Season 8 Idol’s record is Jason excited to hear?   Allison Iraheta, the red-haired rocker!   “I’m really excited for everybody, but I can’t wait to get Allison’s record,”   he says.

The album will feature production and songwriting contributions from Evan Rosse, John Fields and Kara DioGuardi.

The   first single, “Just Fall in Love”   is available now as a digital download.

Just a followup to my blog post on Monday.

Adam Lambert’s upcoming album climbed to #2 on the Amazon.com bestsellers list after it suddenly became available for pre-order on Sunday without fanfare.

Adam’s album, due out on November 24, sailed past Madonna, The Beatles, Susan Boyle and Michael Jackson.

Only Barbara Streisand stood in his way to the #1 spot…

Not anymore!   This afternoon, Adam Lambert’s yet-to-be-named album, hit #1 on the Amazon Bestsellers list. Congrats Adam.   Or should I say, congratulations to the fans–your pre-orders got him there.

Kris Allen headed to London on Sunday to record more tracks for his upcoming album, Due to hit stores on November 17.

Today Kris twittered hints about a mystery collaborator, and invited his fans to guess who it could be:

@KrisAllen4Real: riddle to see who im working with: breakfast food. thats all you get.

Ha ha. Turns out the mystery collaborator is Eg White (get it? hee), who has co-writes on albums by Adele and Duffy. His co-writes include the Grammy nominated hit single “Chasing Pavements” from Adele, plus, “Delayed Devotion” and “Hanging On Too Long” on Duffy’s debut Rockferry. White also wrote songs for Will Young (winner of Pop Idol) and Natalie Imbruglia.

Kris told MTV that he would be working with producers, Andrew Frampton and Steve Kipner while he was in London. Frampton and Kipner co-wrote Kris’s latest single, “Live Like We’re Dying” and “Written All Over Your Face” another song from the album.

Currently, “Live Like We’re Dying” is #34 on the iTunes overall songs chart, up from its mid-60s position over the weekend.   The song’s Friday release was a little unusual, but today, iTunes has it listed in their “What’s Hot” section.   The little bit of publicity is   helping to drive the song up the charts.

I hope it does well. Cover, scmover,   I think it’s a good song.
